AUTHENTIC ENERGY
CD 1) The Authentic Journey to Freedom
Do you live an authentic life, being true to yourself, honoring your instincts and intuitions? Do you speak your truth? Or are you one of the millions who put others wants before your needs, find it difficult to say “no”, live with an alcoholic or addict, doubt your instincts, put on a brave front that everything is “fine” when it isn’t, work in a stifling corporate environment, and will do anything you can to gain love and approval? You’re a really NICE person? Well, that was me, too! After years of people pleasing, “being nice” and being who I thought everyone else wanted me to be – letting other’s beliefs, thoughts, programming and “energy” define me, it is with great joy that I now proclaim: “I’m just not that Nice anymore!” You see, whether you call it “people pleasing, multi-tasking, being nice” whatever… it all is synonymous with “co-dependency”. It’s taken a long time for me to “come out of the closet” and even use that term, because I had placed harsh judgments on it, however, I now truly believe that in some form or another we are all co-dependent. How much we are run by seeking outside “validation”, “approval” etc. determines how healthy or not the behavior is…
I believe we are born authentic… an original creation. However, along the way we are taught limiting beliefs and programming which eventually cover up our authentic way of being and who we truly are. Years of conditioning have created our sense of identity – an identity that is false. Ultimately we hear our inner cry for emancipation and start the process of stripping away the layers that are not us… The way Michaelangelo chipped away all that was not “David”! And what follows is the great journey back to authenticity!
• The “C” word: Co-dependency; society’s silent epidemic
• The Different Faces of Co-dependency
• Co-dependent Programming vs Authentic Living
• Who Are YOU? Losing our Sense of Identity, Purpose and becoming a People Pleaser
• You Are Not Alone! Let’s support each other on The Authentic Journey
CD 2) Authentic Energy: Developing our Awareness
Everything is Energy! We are all Energy… Vibration! We are made out of energy and sustained by energy. We do not end at our skin: our bodies are an ever-changing energy system that is affected by and affects the energy around us. As such, through balancing, clearing and elevating our own vibration, our energy field we have the opportunity to release energy that has been stuck or stagnant for years. With that release, healing and transformation can and does occur. And it is on this level that co-dependency can be healed… at the core!
• Here and Now – Becoming Aware of our Energy
Authentic Energy Clearing Techniques: Part I
Chakras – energy centers that receive and send information and life force energy
Your Personal Surge Protector - Grounding – Your connection to the Earth and your sense of security
Centering – locating and staying in the Center of your Head – where you can view life from a place of compassionate detachment
Divine Protection – Shielding ourselves from unwanted energy and learning to set up our boundaries
Authentic Energy Active Meditation: Running Cosmic & Earth Energies - The Great Power Wash for our Energy Field – dislodging old, stuck energy
CD 3) Authentic Energy: Compassionate Detachment
It is from a place of neutrality that we can make decisions that are “right” for us and not what we are “supposed” to do. Compassionate detachment allows us to step back and look at our present situations without the unnecessary influence of emotions and attachment. From this place we can lovingly, compassionately and with amusement see what’s going on around us and within us.
Authentic Energy Clearing Techniques: Part II
Transforming Energy – How to remove the emotional charge from an issue so that you’re no longer in a state of “reaction” - A healthy co-dependent’s paradise!
Balancing Energy – It’s all about balance and alignment
“No Strings Attached… NOT!” - Energy Cords – a person’s request for attention on an energy level and one way we connect with each other. How to recognize when you’ve been “corded” and what to do with it. This is crucial for a co-dependent to recognize this!
CD 4) I’m a Survivor!”: The Root (chakra) of Co-dependent Thinking
We all have that survival instinct! It just shows up in different ways and is particularly all-consuming among co-dependents; and is why so many remain in abusive, unfulfilling relationship… a learned belief that we couldn’t survive without that person, job, situation… What are some of your beliefs regarding survival?? Much of what we believe about survival we learned as children from our parents, siblings, teachers, mates, the media, movies, TV and society.... Old dysfunctional programming that can be re-evaluated, released and replaced with your OWN set of beliefs that work for you NOW!
• The Fear Factor: what happens when we feel threatened: by terrorists, natural disasters, the inevitability of relapse, losing our job… real or imagined fears affect us equally.
• The Family-sticks-together-at-all costs mentality – when tradition and denial become a prison
• Are you a penny pincher or a spend thrift? What are your beliefs around having your needs met? Feeling supported?
• Do you move around a lot (known as “pulling a geographic”), finding it challenging to stay in one place, job or relationship for long?
• Entrepreneurs and commission-based sales: the first chakra challenge
• What is your relationship to food? To money?? To your job?
CD 5) “Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll”: The Co-dependent’s playground!
It’s party time!! The stuff soap operas are made of: SEX and high emotional drama!! When the second chakra is balanced and healthy it is a wondrous, powerful, creative, life-giving and artistic energy! When imbalanced it can produce equally destructive energy and can lead to addiction!!
• Sex, Sex and More SEX! Our creative and sexual urges! Oh, did I mention sex?
• Are you a Drama King or Queen? Always in the midst of crisis?
• Are you someone who “feels” what others are feeling? Do you carry extra weight around your hips, buttocks and thighs??
• Are you storing your ANGER?
• Emotions can be just as addictive as drugs, food, gambling or sex!
• Relationships: what kind of partners do you attract and what is that mirroring to you?
• Is your relationship with yourself healthy and nurturing?
• Emotional Incest: just as devastating as physical incest
• The ultimate creation: having a baby… that’s second chakra at its best!
CD 6) “Control” is Synonymous with Co-dependency
“You can’t control me… oh wait you ARE!!”: the cry of the Third Chakra and the co-dependent. Type A Personalities, those driven by feelings of power and need to control operate predominantly from this chakra… Who has control of your life? Do you? Does something or someone else?? Our personal sense of control or lack of it is associated with the third chakra.
• Are you a rebel? Always bucking authority? Or do you obediently “follow the rules” of those in Power?
• Are you someone who needs to be in control? Can you delegate?
• What about boundaries?? Do you have any?
• Sex without love: a result of a blocked third chakra
• Passive-Aggressive behavior and the third chakra
• The umbilical cord: the ultimate control factor
CD 7) Listening to The Wisdom of your Heart
Who are you? How do you view yourself? Who have you allowed to create your identity for you? Are you willing to forgive? Yourself? Others? What is your heart’s desire? As a co-dependent, you may have no idea what your heart really wants.
With an open, balanced heart chakra you have access to your Higher Power, divine love, inspiration and forgiveness at any time… When the heart chakra is not balanced we turn into people pleasers, seeking approval because of a desperate need for outside validation.
• Are you a natural born nurturer? Always taking care of others?
• The “Disease to Please” and being a People Pleaser
• The unique relationship between the second chakra (feelings/sex) and the fourth chakra (love and identity)
• Our shifting sense of identity and the way people relate to us. Do you have people around you who don’t want you to change?
• The Open, Loving Heart: a beautiful thing.. IF you have boundaries!!
• The Healing Energy of Love, Compassion and Forgiveness
CD 8) The Truth: The Greatest Challenge for the Co-dependent
How comfortable are you with “speaking your truth”? For that matter, how comfortable are you with hearing the truth? Denial runs deep in the co-dependent…it’s been a matter of survival for many, many years. It’s so deep we wouldn’t know the truth if it bit us on the nose!
What about your communication skills? Do you communicate clearly and honestly, not only with others, but also with yourself?
Do you listen to your inner guidance? Can you even hear it?
The fifth chakra is the bridge between the heart and mind — providing the ability to put what’s in our heart and/or mind into words to be expressed to the world through the throat. How much permission do you have to freely express yourself?
• Is there some part of you that believes if you really spoke your truth, you might die??
• How free are you to express yourself? Who you REALLY are?
• The voice in your head: learning to listen to your inner guidance.
• What is your internal dialogue? Are the words harsh and judgmental or kind and loving?
• Do you have selective hearing? Only hear what you want to hear?
• The Healing Power of Sound: learning to love your voice!
CD 9) I Can See Clearly Now… Really, I Can!!
As co-dependents one of the most challenging issues we are faced with is our lack of clarity: you know that fuzzy state of confusion that comes from years of living in denial? How much permission do you have to see things clearly?
Are you an “intellectual snob”, regarding the intellect as being superior to intuition? Are you more comfortable in the safety of your head?
Do you suffer from headaches? Wear eyeglasses?? What about your beliefs around “magic”, mental telepathy and the power of the mind?? How clearly do you see yourself?
• Are you great at pre-planning? At predicting what will happen next?
• How easy is it for you to visualize? To use your imagination to create what you want?
• “Visions” and Mind altering substances as a “false” means of expanding the sixth chakra
• The fine line between genius and insanity: all those “crazy” pictures
• Balancing intuitive abilities with Logic and Reason: the holistic approach
That is one of the basic principles of recovery. “Keeping our pipeline to God clean” is what the seventh chakra is all about. Our pipeline to the Highest information, divine inspiration and ultimate consciousness.
Have you ever experienced "divine inspiration"? Information that just seems to "come to you"?
Do you have any beliefs about spirituality: what it means to be a "spiritual" person? That you have to be "nice" all the time? Have you ever been involved with a "cult"? Blindly following some guru, without question... losing your sense of Self? Becoming the "glassy-eyed devotee"??
The Crown chakra is the energy center associated with Free Will and Spiritual Beliefs! It is also our visionary center: where we begin to see the whole picture... our interconnectedness.
• The “church” and your crown chakra
• Free Will is your birthright!
• Alone on the highest mountain top – as close to the Divine as you can physically be
• Developing your own connection to the Divine: becoming your own “Yoda”
